Carder Oliver Mercer Steven Caldicott Wilson David Vanderwal Acolytes Alistair Lucas Chase Andrew Godwin Jones Calvin Jeffrey Wentling Scott Dispensa Richard Lippold Craig Phillips Mark Sullivan Christopher Trueblood The Saint Thomas Choir School is a residential school for Boys in grades three through eight. All Boys in the school sing in the Choir of Saint Thomas Church. The student body, drawn principally from the East Coast, is quite diversified. Though they come from a wide variety of economic and cultural backgrounds, the Boys all share an involvement in music and a high level of academic ability. The Reverend Charles F. Wallace Headmaster, The Saint Thomas Choir School THE CHOIR The Saint Thomas Choir is considered by major critics both here and abroad to be the outstanding choral ensemble of the Anglican musical tradition in the United States today. Besides offering a full annual concert series with orchestra, the Choir of sixteen Men and twenty-four Boys sings at five weekly principal worship services of the Church, preparing an astounding four hundred pieces of sacred music a year. The Men of the Choir are professional singers; the Boys attend The Saint Thomas Choir School, the only church-related residential choir school in the United States, and one of only four similar schools remaining in the world.

9 Far more than a music school, The Saint Thomas Choir School is a fully accredited academic institution for boys from eight to fourteen, with a study program of English, mathematics, history, science, art, Latin, French, music theory, and instrumental instruction on such instruments as piano, viola, cello, flute, trumpet, and clarinet. Situated in a striking building a block from Carnegie Hall, the school provides a warm family atmosphere, where the pastoral care is overseen by the Headmaster and assisted by two registered nurses. The boys are taught by nine full time teachers and ten part time instructors, and prepared by graduation to go on to leading preparatory schools or to return home to local secondary schools. Approximately eight new boys are accepted each year on the basis of vocal aptitude (with or without previous musical training), scholastic ability, and suitability for the chorister lifestyle. Maximum enrollment in the Choir School is forty boys, all of whom receive substantial financial support from Saint Thomas Church. Supplementing its choral services and concert series, over the past three decades, the choir has toured throughout the United States and Europe, with performances at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Kings College, Cambridge, Windsor, Edinburgh, St. Albans and the Aldeburgh Festival. In 2004, the choir toured Italy, and performed for a Papal Mass at the Vatican. During 2007, the choir performed Bach s Saint Matthew Passion for the opening concert of the Mexico Festival in Mexico City as well as at Saint Thomas Church. Recent concert highlights have included Rachmaninoff Vespers; the U.S. premiere of John Tavener s Mass; a concert of American composers featuring works by Bernstein and Copland as well as a composition by Saint Thomas chorister, Daniel Castellanos; the first modern performance of Richter s Missa Hyemalis; a Henry Purcell anniversary concert, and the world premiere of Scott Eyerly s Spires. In April 2009, the choir performed in the British Choirs Festival at Washington National Cathedral alongside the choirs of Canterbury Cathedral and Washington National Cathedral. ABOUT THE ORGANS The Great Organ of Saint Thomas Church was built in 1913 by the Ernest M. Skinner Organ Company of Boston, and installed when the present building was first used for services that year. It was extensively revised and rebuilt in 1956 by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company, also of Boston, under the personal direction of G. Donald Harrison. It was then dedicated as the Arents Memorial Organ, given by George Arents in memory of his wife. Further revision of the instrument was completed in the late sixties by Gilbert Adams of New York, and in the early eighties by Mann and Trupiano of Brooklyn. The current organ includes tonal designs which are characteristic of the organs of Bach s time. In addition, it is especially notable for its French Romantic colors. Consisting of six divisions, the instrument features a Trompette-en-Chamade under the rose window over the Fifth Avenue entrance. There are four manuals, 138 ranks and some 9,050 pipes. The organ console is hidden from view at the left of the chancel. In the spring of 1996 the gallery instrument was dedicated as the Loening-Hancock Organ. The firm of Taylor & Boody of Staunton, Virginia built the instrument which contains twenty-one stops over two manuals and pedal. The instrument is inspired by the tradition of organ building which was active in the Netherlands and North Germany in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Stop and key action are mechanical and the temperament is Kellner. The Martha J. Dodge Continuo Organ was built and initiated in December, This superb portative instrument, consisting of 4 ranks of pipes, was built by the firm of Taylor & Boody.
